US Cyworld Will No Longer Be Able To Service

A Korean company is shutting down its online virtual world, the email they sent to users notifying them was made fun of by a very prominent IT blogger. As Americans we certainly don't appreciate being made fun of, but at least these guys are trying!

Below is the email sent:

Subject: Cyworld shuts down US cyworld service

Thank you to all members with Cyworld.

We sincerely apologize for shutting down the service with unavoidable reason.
Before US cyworld close the service, you will continue to access to US cyworld contents but not
purchase items. Also, you will not use your acorns.
